Today I learned that one can easily look up a user’s voting history.
Go to https://lemvotes.org/
Select User, drop their handle there, and run the report.
After I looked up my stalker, … (I love you and your attention, plz keep it up!) … I looked up myself.
I’m very happy to find that I’ve almost entirely upvoted. And yes, I went on a couple sprees and downvoted some crap. That’s kinda ugly to look at now.
It made me think about how I behave here. You know, in that its so damn easy to see.
And back to the question at hand. What’s your upvote/downvote percentage?
Are you a Lemmy Shitbird?
…
EDIT … The author of lemvotes posted about it here.

Ok, I’m not sure what’s up. The site is not new. (Well … It’s 2 months old.)
It’s an important resource. They will fix it.
Fixed.
Thank you.
Many users have questions about the accuracy of the report.
Could you comment on that or point us to a tech doc?
…
Tech doc here … https://blog.gregtech.eu/posts/lemvotes/
But the doc says they can’t check a user’s votes, the API doesn’t exist.
Well, that ‘check user’ feature is the whole reason for my post here today, so it appears Lena got past that. Their github looks like they made a major commit 3 weeks ago.
I have added that feature but haven’t written a post about it yet :P. I’ll get around to it soon.
I’ve reviewed your project and carefully considered the implications. I feel that you have done a worthy thing.
Consider what has taken place here. Sure, I tracked down a stalker. That’s the obvious use case.
But the entire point of my post and the bulk of the discussion was about reviewing YOUR OWN behavior. People see their record laid bare, and feel exposed at first.
Its good to realize that what you do on Lemmy is a matter of public record. Its good to realize that there could be consequences. You are not anonymous.
